2010 Needlework Arts Challenge!!
To get us started for 2010 - here is our general Needlework Arts Challenge for 2010!!
In 2009, Madhen gave guidlines to choose from - mahalo madhen.
I personally think it's a great idea to continue and invite whoever is so inclined to suggest monthly ideas.
Let's see what our nimble fingers are going to create in 2010!!
Personally, I have no idea what I am going to work on - other than finish up my scrubbies and dishcloths for Easter presents.
What are you planning on?

My personal challenge is to finish Christmas gifts first. So I've got 3 pairs of socks and 6 sets of scarf, hat, mittens. Then I'm free to do whatever .......

My Knitting and Crocheting skills are very beginner! I'm working on a baby blanket(knitting) for my sister's baby due in July. I would like to try and work on some Christmas gifts as well...Hats, scarfs, mittens, booties. Hoping to get serious and finish the baby blanket in a month or two tops(I'm really slow) and then learn and work on the rest.

I do some cross stitching. Haven't done any FOREVER, but am considering doing some for Christmas gifts for next year. I am hoping that it would count for this challenge. If it doesn't, I am sorry I phosted in the wrong place!!

I am going to work on the long list of Yule gifts and 'want-to-dos'.
Since I am only 36 minutes in to 2010, I think I have time
If there is a theme, I will try to work within that, otherwise, I will post as I go.
I can't be out of money... I still have checks left!

You are all so far ahead of me/us!! We still have four hours to go until 2010!!
Of course cross stitch counts - anything that you use a needle of any kind on counts!! Do you do counted or stamped cross stitch. rabelgrils? Looking forward to seeing what you create!!Travel light. The baggage of the past can only hold you back.

I hope to have a sweater jacket finished in a couple of weeks, then I want to knit some novelty pot holders and dishcloths with some cones of cotton I have.
My goal this year is to either have enough items to start an Itsy site, or some place where I can make some spare cash to save for retirement.

I've been trucking away on the capelet for Maggie. Only problem is--it has cables and I've never done cables before. I'm not sure that I am doing it right--so tomorrow, I will head out to the LYS and see if they can help me.

My goal for January is to finish up all the things I have on my needles!!! I have:
~Citron shawl
~Horcrux sock #2
~rainbow black ankle sock #2
~baby blanket
~Afghan Square a Month (I'm still on JUNE!)
I really want to cast on Saroyan and my youngest ds has been begging me for both socks and slippers. But I'm determined to at least get the shawl & socks finished before casting on anything else!

Cables are actually pretty easy. Here is a youtube video that will show you how to do a basic cable. There are quite a few others that show different kinds of cables that are more fancy

will definitely be finishing up my Easter crocheted scrubbies and dishcloths today - thank goodness for the football games!!Travel light. The baggage of the past can only hold you back.

I have many plans already. Slippers ja socks for my sister-in-law; her feet are always cold. Some more slippers and socks for gifts in the future (like next Christmas). A blanket for my niece. She will have a confirmation party next summer and I think a blanket would be a nice gift. She always loves my blankets and has been asking for one.
I knitted myself a Baktus scarf, you know the Norwegian design? It was very easy to knit and it is lovely to wear, so I will propably knit one more.
And ofcourse I will crochet some more little toy animals, amigurumi style.
